Justice have released“Pusher,”a seven-minute, bass-driven collaboration with Gesaffelstein, and it’s our first real taste of the Grand Theft Auto 6 score. The French duo, Gaspard Augé and Xavier de Rosnay, were confirmed last week as the game’s composers and also contributed to the 34-track companion album, so“Pusher”is just the opening move.
The behind-the-scenes story is just as juicy. A report claims Rockstar originally courted Daft Punk for the score, but the legendary duo weren’t interested in reforming. That left the door open for Justice, whose dark, cinematic electronic sound fits the GTA universe perfectly. Meanwhile, the game’s first six radio stations have been confirmed, with hosts including Bad Bunny, Lana Del Rey, Robyn, and Slayer’s Kerry King and Tom Araya.
GTA 6 mania is already at a fever pitch. Netflix’s 26-minute extended look at the game drew over 31.1 million views and was the most-watched show in 87 of 93 countries. With a soundtrack this stacked, the music might end up stealing the whole show. Which artist on the GTA 6 lineup are you most excited to hear in-game?
